I visited Dr Qasim regarding ongoing pain I have been experiencing in both feet, specifically in the heel area. Throughout all previous consultations with local GPs I was advised that I had plantar fasciitis, however following my consultation with Dr Qasim I was told this was likely not the case, and therefore many of the exercises/physio I had previously been told to follow were incorrect. I appreciated that Dr Qasim took the time to explain my condition in detail, and provided me with steps to follow to help going forward, as well as further follow up appointments and scans to check my progress
Dr Qasim was very welcoming, pleasant and explained everything in relation to my issue I a calm, precise And in a way that a non clinical person could understand. He took the time to answer all y questions and was more than helpful. I was very happy with this consultation - credit to Dr Qasim
A pleasant and professional consultation with clear and concise answers.
He was very easy to talk to and his manner makes one feel at ease immediately. He explains everything very succinctly and it was a pleasure to meet him again.
Dr Sultan Qasim is an exceptional Doctor who provided me with some great care and advice.
I cannot fault the professionalism and positive outcome.
I found Dr qasim to be great surgeon, explained everything what to expect and reassured me , the procedure was successful and my recovery as he described He was a lovely gentleman, friendly, relaxed and professional, would definitely recommend to any one
Useful summary of issue, causes and solutions to try
The doctors consultation was very good . Lack of parking however caused so problems as my walking is poor . The advice when phoning that there is street parking nearby does not really help as n-one could guarantee that especially if you are not familiar with the area . Better signing / directions within the building a minor issue if you haven’t been before .
Sultan is an excellent colleague who have I collaborated on multiple occasions, treating complex diabetic feet with osteomyelitis as well as general lower limb trauma. I have received consistently positive feedbacks from our joint patients about his care.
